Question

100 POINTS!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: In order to find the x-intercepts, you should set f(x)=0. Then, .  and .

Part B: From the function, it is visible that it is going to be a minimum, because the function is cup-size. Vertex coordinates can be calculated by the formula . Then  and . The vertex coordinates are (-1.25, -0.125)

Part C: By using the vertex coordinates, we can construct the vertex of the function and then using the information about the x-intercept we can complete the function. The function looks like in the picture below.
